A systems orientated process thinker, Ken focuses on creating possibilities, with actionable vision, for those he consults with. He works with the diversity of ideas that exist within a group, and examines how these ideas influence the decision-making process, culminating in effectiveness during performance.

His work draws on the philosophy of ecologic, in that ideas and actions are interconnected holistically.

He believes that human transformation occurs when the power of energy and the complexity of information integrates in a meaningful, focused way.
